Glad to meet another one (gee, I spelled that ‘meat’ at first. Freudian, huh?). I went vegan for health reasons almost a year ago. I have no regrets, especially after I learned about factory farms. Ewww.
My son thinks I’m a little weird, but since I’m the one doing the cooking, he’s been eating mostly vegan, has lost weight and now, even if I offer to make something special for him, he doesn’t want me to add the fattening cheese and meats he was used to. He’s getting to the age where guys can start to put on weight if they don’t watch it. Meanwhile, he looks youthful, still gets carded, and is slim and trim. Yeah, he still gets a McDonald’s meal sometimes, but whether he admits it or not, he’s mostly veg. Small yay! : )
A plate of vegetarian beans or a nice salad and some delicious fruit tastes better to me than greasy meat filled with hormones. My blood pressure has dropped back to normal levels since I went vegetarian and it only took about two weeks. I go easy on bread too. So much of it today is made from insoluable fiber instead of soluable, and acts like tiny slivers of glass going through your intestines. No wonder colon cancer is so prevalent today.
